Back in November of 2013, the world was shocked to learn that the Fast & Furious star had died in a car accident at the age of 40. Walker was in the passenger seat of a car that crashed at high speed in California, killing both himself and the driver, Roger Rodas.
Meadow was just 15 years old at the time of her father's death.
Now 21, Meadow often shares tributes to her late dad on social media, but she admitted that this was one video she never thought she would share with her fans.

Sharing the short clip with her 2.1 million followers, Meadow captioned the heartwarming post: "I never thought I’d share this. But it felt right. Be good. I love you. Stay safe. xx"
The video shows Meadow hiding in a dark room before jumping out to surprise her dad, who jumps back and shouts in shock. The young Meadow then says "hi" to her surprised father, who falls back onto the bed as she shouts "Happy Birthday!"

It is unknown exactly when or where the video was captured, but the adorable clip shows both Paul and Meadow laughing and looking incredibly happy.
Since posting the clip to social media yesterday (April 7), the video has since amassed more than 630,000 views and 7,400 comments from emotional fans.
Fast & Furious star Nathalie Emmanual commented: "Oh wow this is beautiful..."
Another Instagram user with the handle @memlan274 commented: "@meadowwalker Such a precious memory! Thank you for sharing it with us!"
And another supportive follower, @cjk83185, commented: "Such a sweet memory, thanks for sharing!"
As well as sharing tributes to her late father, Meadow has also set up the Paul Walker Foundation in his honor - an organization dedicated to the protection of oceans and wildlife. As well as being an actor, one of Paul's biggest passions was for marine biology, something that he found time to pursue in between movie roles.
